Ⅱ. 单项选择(10分)

1. (2013·益阳中考)　　　Great Wall is　　　longest wall in the world.

【解析】选A。考查冠词的用法。The Great Wall"长城", 是固定短语, longest是形容词最高级, 形容词最高级前要用定冠词the。

【解析】选D。考查形容词最高级。由句意"--你认为昨天你读的那本书怎么样? --这是我所读过的最有趣的书之一。"可知要用最高级, interesting的最高级形式是most interesting, 且形容词最高级前要加定冠词the。

3. In order to keep quiet, please go into or out of the library　　　.

A. well B. better C. more D. worse
